Young expecting team spirit to life dark clouds at Man Utd

Ashley Young is convinced that Manchester United will bounce back quickly from their current poor run.

The Red Devils have failed to win any of their past six matches in all competitions which has brought about unbridled criticism for manager Louis van Gaal.

Ahead of the Boxing Day trip to Stoke City, winger Young made it clear that the playing group are disappointed at themselves for the subpar run but believes that the unity within the dressing room will soon turn those misfortunes around.

"Not winning the last six games for a club like us is disappointing," he told MUTV.

"We're not used to not winning games, everyone in the dressing room is a winner and we want to get back to winning ways. That's what we're trying to do.

"Obviously everyone is disappointed with the last few games but I've always said the team spirit we have is fantastic.

"There are always smiles on faces and all of us want to put things right and that's the way it has to be.

"There is no player who doesn't want to go out there and win.

"Everyone has that winning mentality and wants to turn things around, and that's what everyone will be looking to do in the next game."

Young added: '"We're the players who are out there on the pitch and we haven't been performing as well as we have done in the past.

"We've got that team spirit to show the strength that we can turn things around."
